We defend clients facing serious robbery allegations, including aggravated armed robbery, focusing on avoiding convictions, reducing sentences and preventing lengthy imprisonment.

We represent clients in matters involving:

What is Aggravated Robbery?

Under NSW law, robbery involves stealing property while using or threatening violence. Aggravated robbery refers to robbery alleged to involve additional aggravating circumstances, making the offence more serious and carrying heavier penalties.

The aggravated robbery meaning depends on the section charged, but commonly alleged aggravating factors include the use or threatened use of a weapon, being armed (including alleged or imitation weapons), acting in company, and inflicting or threatening actual bodily harm.

Aggravated robbery charges often arise in fast-moving situations. Whether an offence is properly classified as aggravated depends on how the incident is interpreted, including the nature of any threats, the involvement of others, and how events are captured or described by witnesses and CCTV.

Common Defences to Aggravated Robbery

An aggravated robbery charge does not automatically lead to conviction. Many cases turn on identification issues, unclear CCTV, or inconsistent witness accounts. Alleged violence, threats or weapons are often disputed, particularly where conduct is overstated or does not meet the legal threshold for aggravation. Charges may also be challenged where acting in company or intent to permanently deprive cannot be established. Early legal advice is critical to identifying weaknesses and preventing overcharging.

FAQs

What is the difference between robbery and aggravated robbery in NSW?

Robbery involves stealing property while using or threatening violence. Aggravated robbery involves additional alleged factors such as being armed, acting in company, or causing or threatening actual bodily harm. These aggravating features significantly increase the seriousness of the charge and potential penalties.

What is aggravated armed robbery?

Aggravated armed robbery is a form of aggravated robbery where the accused is alleged to have been armed with a weapon or imitation weapon. The weapon does not need to be used to cause injury. Allegations that a weapon was present or displayed can substantially increase sentencing exposure.

Is there a minimum sentence for aggravated robbery in NSW?

There is no automatic aggravated robbery minimum sentence in NSW. However, aggravated robbery offences are treated seriously by the courts and often carry a real risk of full-time imprisonment, particularly where weapons, violence or prior convictions are involved.

Can aggravated robbery charges be reduced or downgraded?

Yes. In some cases, aggravated robbery charges can be reduced to lesser offences if alleged aggravating features cannot be proven or are overstated. Early legal advice is critical in identifying overcharging, protecting you from making damaging statements, and pursuing alternative outcomes before the matter progresses further through the court system.

Which court hears aggravated robbery charges?

Aggravated robbery matters usually begin in the Local Court, but serious cases are commonly committed to the District Court for trial or sentence. The court process and strategy depend on the specific charge and how the prosecution elects to proceed.

Does acting in company automatically make it aggravated robbery?

Acting in company can be an aggravating factor, but it must be proven. The prosecution must establish that another person was present and involved in the offence in a way recognised by law. Mere presence or association is not always enough.

What if no weapon was actually used?

A charge may still be brought if police allege a weapon was present, displayed or implied. However, whether an object qualifies as a weapon and whether it was actually used or threatened is often contested and can be central to the defence.

Does a first offence aggravated robbery charge mean jail?

Not necessarily. Outcomes depend on the facts, alleged aggravating features and the offender’s background. At Daoud Legal, our experienced defence lawyers understand how aggravated robbery charges are prosecuted in NSW and can assess risk, challenge aggravating factors and tailor an appropriate defence strategy.
